SYDNEY people, visitors, or overseas friends who are never likely to visit Sydney will all be delighted to own Sydney Harbour, a new book of pictures by Sydney photographer Laurence Le Guay (Angus and Robertson, 53.50).
Sydney Harbour is “The”
Harbour for Sydney people, for as poet Kenneth Slessor points out in his short and sparkling in troduction, there is no indefinite article, just as there is none for Londoners who speak of “The”
Monument, or Europeans who speak of “The” Continent, as if they had the only monument or continent or harbour in the world.
Certainly there is no other harbour like Sydney’s, and here it is in many moods, photographed from many different vantage points, from the upper reaches of the Lane Cove River, to Manly Wharf.
